How long has the unfinished Intel Centrino=E2=84=A2 driver been sitting
waiting for attention? The bulk of what needs to be done is, I think,
similar to what needs to be done to make the Atheros cards work - not
the low-level hardware details (I sort-of have that for the Atheros
cards too) but the 802.11 control above that needs to be done, the
handful of ctl messages that sufficed for the old Wavelan world is
not enough.
